Currently Rmail only works with mbox files: each mail folder is a single
file, in which all mails are placed one after the other. As you probably
know, Maildirs were proposed about 25 years ago to address the limitations
of mbox files, and in particular to remove the need of a locking mechanism
when the mail folder is accessed concurrently by two programs (e.g. the
mail delivery agent and the mail user agent). With Maildirs, which are
now the standard way to store mails, each mail folder is a directory, in
which each individual mail is stored in its own file.
